Kentucky keeps marching on. The wildcats dispatched Tennessee on the road last night and have a real shot now at matching Bob Knight's 1976 Indiana Hoosiers as the last team to have an undefeated season. Let's see what Mr. Knight's thinks of that prospect:

A recap of last night's picks:
Walmart's Employees of the Month (Top Value Players)
- In the fantasy world, Andrew Harrison backed up his solid streak of late with 23.6 fantasy points, not bad for a $5600 value.
- Isaac Copleand ($5,300) was another nice suprise as he dropped 31.8 fantasy points.
- Branden Dawson threw down 47.6 fantasy points by making 10 field goals and snagging 13 rebounds. Reminds me of his Access Denied block versus Maryland back in January:
Debbie Downer
- Say it ain't so Rico! Mr. Gathers was stymied by the Red Raider's D and barely managed double digit fantasy points. 10.2 fantasy points isn't going to cut it at a price tag of $9,300.
Today's Daily Fantasy Sports Picks
F Rakeem Christmas $9,700 – 35.65
fppg - LOU@SYR
What’s Christmas done since
Christmas? Only averaged 35+ fppg with a low of 22 & a high of 52 fantasy
points. He’s also been a stud against fellow big men like Kennedy Meeks of UNC
& Jahlil Okahor of Duke.
F Le'Bryan Nash $8,000 – 27.49 fppg
- IOWST@OKST
Playing at home, Nash should go for
prime-time points against the Cyclones in what figures to be a shootout. Nash
has been excellent in his last 4 games averaging 28.23 fantasy points. He has
been starting to take charge of late in the Cowboys push for the NCAA tourney.
F Jameel McKay $6,800 – 22.69 fppg
- IOWST@OKST
High energy player who cleans up
the glass better than Windex. In a game with a lot of shots, there should be a
lot of rebounds to be had. Averaging 28.98 fantasy points in last 4 games.
F Tony Parker $5,800 – 21.33 fppg -
UCLA@ARZST
Another excellent rebounder and low
post scorer. Can be somewhat turnover prone but the Sun Devils have a porous D
and rank 245th in steals per game.
Averages 30+ minutes per game. Not
bad for a big man. Should have the opportunity to grab plenty of offensive rebounds
as KSU doesn’t have a lot of sharp shooters and TCU doesn’t play with a huge
frontcourt.
G Tyus Jones $7,600 – 24.48 fppg -
UNC@DUKE
Home game, check. Biggest rivalry
on the eastern seaboard, check. Blood pressure elevated, check. Jones will be
up for this one as well as the rest of the team. Jones has the ability to rack
up some points himself but should also benefit from dishing out assists to his
talented surrounding cast against a weak UNC defense.
G Anthony Hickey $6,600 – 22.93
fppg - IOWST@OKST
Oklahoma’s minute guard has been a
dynamo as of late. Scoring 23+ fantasy points in 5 of his last 6 games.
G Nate Mason $4,900 – 20 fppg - NWE@MIN
A downer of a game Sunday against
Indiana has dropped Mason’s stock. Take a chance on him for under $5k that he
can rebound against the Gophers will one of his better games where he is a
scorer and a facilitator.
G Riley LaChance $5,000 – 20.14
fppg - VAN@FLO
Another
value pick at $5k. LaChance had 19.2 fantasy points in his last outing against
Florida. If his shooting game is on point, LaChance can rack up the points in a
hurry. Gators are vulnerable this year so I’m taking a (la)chance on Riley!Also, see additional lineup analysis from Scott at Rotogrinders at https://rotogrinders.com/blog-posts/cbb-daily-plays-wednesday-february-18th-570509. He and I concur on Tyus Jones & Tony Parker.
Enjoy the battle for Tobacco Road tonight and may your picks bring all your wildest dreams to come true!
Certainly a miss on Christmas, but I’m not sure which Jones you’re being sarcastic about. We clearly endorsed Tyus… Thanks for the read though!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't trying to be sarcastic. I just saw you had highlighted Christmas and (Tyus) Jones in your post. They definitely had great nights! Enjoyed your post.
